office-hours

Startup design docs are generated by guiding founders through context gathering, problem framing, and alternatives generation to produce a structured design doc with measurable criteria and next-step assignments.

YC-style office hours workflows support feature discovery and prioritization by surfacing evidence, constraints, and open questions, outputting a complete design document and concrete next-step assignment ready for team handoff.

Problem framing for startup design documents involves selecting a startup or builder mode during the guided workflow, ensuring the phase outputs yield concrete artifacts like premises, status, and measurable success criteria.

The guided design doc workflow operates without external dependencies, using interactive prompts to elicit user needs, user stories, and success criteria directly to enforce a consistent design-doc template.

Design thinking collaboration records decision criteria and open questions by enforcing a consistent template throughout the phased workflow, capturing constraints and evidence to transition ideation into actionable plans.
